Description

The Ullet Road Unitarian Church Hall, located at 57 Ullet Road, was built in 1901. Designed by P. Worthington, it is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. The building is an example of Arts and Crafts Gothic architecture, characterized by a freer style compared to the adjacent chapel.

The hall is in an L-shape. The north range is a low cloister with two-light windows and offset buttresses, meeting a tall gable at the east end. This gable has mullioned domestic windows and an embattled parapet. The main hall extends south with similar windows and a large chimney breast incorporating ingle nook windows. The gable end features a shallow, canted bay window with cusped lights and Tudor flower cresting. The side facing York Avenue has five irregular bays, with a mullioned and transomed bow window in the second bay, and arched windows with cusped tracery in the third, fourth and fifth bays. Chamfered buttresses rise from the weathered plinth and support the swept eaves. A wooden lantern with an ogee cupola and weathervane tops the hall. The hall's east end has a heavily offset wall with a chimney comprising four octagonal shafts. An entrance and gable form a two-storey block adjoining this wall; the doorway is splayed with a hoodmould surmounted by a figure of a stone mason, which acts as part of the corbelling for a stone oriel. The gable features mullioned and transomed windows, and a small oriel window at the upper level. Leadlights are present throughout.

Inside the hall, an arch-braced collar roof and an arcade along the west side are notable. A large fireplace with built-in benches and original grate sits at the end of the hall, above which are the arms of Brunner and Tate. Original light fittings remain. The cloister has arcading on the north side and two vaulted recesses designed to hold memorials, derived from a previous chapel at Renshaw Street. Memorial plaques commemorate J. Blanco White, N. Rathbone Jnr., W. Rathbone Jnr., W. Roscoe and H. Booth.

Together with the chapel, the hall forms one of the most elaborately designed Non-conformist complexes in the country.
